West Virgina is for Loers

We thought it was a great name. Tonight we went to Last Exit on Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn to play trivia.

Basically, when West Virginia won the NIT basketball tourney earlier this week, the T-shirts that had been pre-made saying West Virginia NIT champs had spelled Virginia with one less "i" making it an incorrect spelling.

So, we named our team "West Virgina is for Loers". The Emcee regarded it as "very clever". This AFTER he read it wrong and asked if there was a misspelling! (There was and it was deliberate.)

Whether or not West Virginia is for Lovers (or Virginia for that matter), I do not know. But I do know that we came in first place tonight!! And there was an all important question regarding the March 16, 2007 Jeopardy game. Why did it make history? Oh please. Challenge me, would ya?! Challenge me!!! Three way tie for those readers who have not read recent posts.

So as I write this, I am thinking about the 40 bucks I won (and Jeremy won 40 too!) and listening to Ohio State U lose to Florida in the NCAA basketball tournament. Usually I wouldn't care but had OSU won, I would be in the money of something to the tune of 250 MORE bucks (more than than 40 already in my pocket.) As it turns out, I will have come in second place so I will be getting something to the tune of 60 bucks.

Woo hoo! Though there was no searching for the afikomen in my Passover celebrations of late, I certainly have some extra gelt!

This is it!

This is live blogging. . . Category - Women of the 1930s.
1 of the men who shot her realized when he saw her body that she'd often waited on him at a cafe in sallas. Jeremy's guess: Who is Bonnie of Bonnie and Clyde.

(Bonnie Parker - thanks to Anders who doubled his $8000.)
Jamey - also go it right. (and now he too has $16000)
So did Scott!! And he bet so that he also had $16000!! A three way tie! Wow. That is so anti-climatic that I can't even write anymore. Comments?

Jeopardy! in Pop Culture

This is one of the Double Jeopardy categories. How cool.

So - the end of Double Jeopardy and the scores are
Scott
$13,400
Anders
$8000
Jamey
$8000
It is not clear what the historical event will be. So we wait. . .

Lean Green Jeopardy Machine

(Title is in honor of St. Patty's Day)

Ok - the champ has $0, Jamey $1800 and Anders $3600 at the start when we are back from the first commercial break
He (Anders) has donated blood 170 times!! Wow. A good samaritan. And a guy who can get on Jeopardy, too. Nice combo.

Champ is losing.

So far

Nothing to see here. Scott had $45,001 after two days. His opponents, Anders and
Jamey. . . The first round is in honor of St. Patty's Day. Ireland, Green Beers, "Lep"rachaun, Parades . . . etc. Ok I am getting excited for the whole "history will be made" thing!

Live blogging!! (during the commercials)

I wonder why it is called live blogging when you can't really pay attention to what else is going on while you type. I mean, I can look up at the TV and type at the same time but if I do it like I am doing it now then I will ineveitably have a spelling mistake or two. (I just looked down - - didn't do so bad). The above "test" notwithstanding (or is it standing?) this blogger here (this guy here can stay with me. . . ) will not be live blogging but I will make remarks during the commercials. I will be back.

Exciting_Times

This post might as well be written by a guest blogger, Bill Braine! Thanks for the spot!
Well, it seems that this news may put our blog to shame as this is the type of thing we're supposed to be 'reporting' on. Get with the program people! Something exciting is going to happen in Tomorrow Night's Jeopardy so on Saturday... I expect a post! Apparently, it's something that's never happened in Jeopardy! 's history.

More details are on the Jeopardy! website and here. (This guy suspects a three way tie....)

UK Quiz Channel-- Scandal!

It's about time...the crazy quiz shows here in England are under fire. And apparently, these shows weren't very honest..shocker. However, I will miss listening to the callers and wondering what the hell they're saying. I could barely understand their accents let alone their answers. Poor Nigel from the Midlands I feel like he called a lot.

Here is one of many articles.

And now it's time for a little break.

From trivia that is. The break came on Tuesday, February 13 when we entered a Name That Tune Contest at Union Hall, which happens to be on my newly formed list of favorite places in Brooklyn to hang out. Still hanging on to #1 . . . my apartment, of course.

We first found out about this contest on a Brooklyn message board query that asked - "what are the best trivia nights in Brooklyn?" and while we have yet to venture to any of the others on the board, we did make it to Union Hall as the snow began to come down. It was more like ice, really when we left our place at about 8:30. We arrived at Union Hall at about 8:40 (yes, it is THAT close to #1 (our apt.)). Since it was the first ever Name that Tune at Union Hall & we'd never been to the facility before, we weren't sure what to expect, including how many people would be there and what not. We entered the warm pub place with book-filled bookcases lining the walls of the upstairs and found a primo table. As we sat, smiling to be inside after the ice-coming- down thing we had just trekked through, I was trying to decide if we were, in fact, in the right area of the facility. Would a Name that Tune presentation happen right here in the main of the bar space? After inquiring, we discovered the fun was to be had downstairs and when we arrived to aforementioned downstairs, I could see it was a better venue. Basically, there was a stage and a microphone set up and I would be lying if I didn't say it reminded me of a movie-oake setting from about 10 months back. That of course, didn't make me feel good as the movie-oake, while fun - and yes, I am glad we did it - wasn't all that.
Anyway, we took seats and oh by the way, we were the only ones in the seating area! We trudged on and Jeremy went to the bar for drinks. Sitting with with our drinks we wondered if Name that Tune would be cancelled due to ice falling from the sky. There were people, insiders it seemed, sitting at the bar and two bartenders hanging out.
Anyway, we confirmed Name that Tune was happening and shortly afterwards, our host approached, gave us our answer sheet and a pen. She said each team only gets one pen and Jeremy joked, "right don't want to not have enough for everyone." Hmm. . . while we weren't still the only ones there we were at that point one out of two (two!) teams. She didn't get the joke - this is Name that Tune people! - but she did smile and say, "No really, we totally forgot pens and had to run around asking people upstairs for their own." So that was kinda funny - not that she didn't get Jeremy's joke - maybe she was in denial - but just the fact that an event would be planned where few items are needed and pens are one of them and pens are forgotten. Now, this entry is not about pens but about tunes.
The photo is our score sheet and you will see our name "I'm With Stupid" which only I can take credit. It struck me as especially silly (I am after all a big fan of silly) considering we were practically the only ones there and as luck would have it - we were with each other - but calling each other stupid, while not very nice, makes for a funny team name. (Together at Last! Together Forever!) It was also a good way to divert attention from our quiz winning ways. Jeremy after all has been on a streak - First Place at Camdentown's Oxford Arms on January 15 and Second Place at Brooklyn's Last Exit on February 5. I mean, if we are each with Stupid then our team doesn't have a chance, right? WRONG!!
OK so the game starts and by this time people have streamed in (really - it did happen pretty fast) and there were 6 teams in all. The first round of 20 questions was name that tune straight up - list artist and song name. The first clue was to Justin Timberlake's Sexyback and it was a good one to start with, warming the crowd up because in the end everyone did get that one right. There was one tune the hostess played and afterward she said, "if you don't know this one, I pity you." Well, we are to be pitied. I did think prior to this event starting that we could get rocked hard (in terms of losing and not get one right) and it was because of indie groups and songs like this. It was Arcade Fire which I guess if you are anyone and if you are anyone in Brooklyn, you can name these tunes from a small amount of notes. The thing is we wouldn't have been able to name it if she played the entire song and told us the album or even the title of the song! This was number 5 or 6 and by that time we had already answered most of the tunes so I was not worried it would be all music I didn't know. Speaking as someone who has the Rent and Avenue Q soundtracks on my iPod with very high "times listened to" numbers, I was hoping for that showtune track. What I got instead was the soundtrack from a movie and a TV show. Neither of which we answered correctly. Answers: Rudy and The Incredible Hulk. Our guesses: Titanic and Heroes. I think we should have gotten points for Heroes since wasn't that Hulk guy a good guy? Sure, no cape but he did help out the town now didn't he?
We got a good dose of 80s music - Martika's Toy Soldiers, Violent Femmes' Kiss off, and my personal fave (since I got it without taking a breath) Cameo's Word Up. And Jeremy was the only one (so said our leader) to get Jackson Browne as the artist of song Running on Empty. Number 17 was a man saying "And now it's time for a little break" and our hostess called out to the ladies - "you should get this one ladies!" The pressure was on and I choked. It was from En Vogues' Never Gonna Get It. (no, you're never gonna get it). Which in hindsight since I didn't get it, is well, poetic, no?!

The next round was a multimedia event that being the first time, went off with a hitch. We had to look at the screen and identify the album cover based only on a snippet of that cover. Unfortunately, whoever was workin' the DVD/Computer thing in the back (I think I heard someone call him Skippy?) showed us the answers for the first two (out of 5).

The last round was lyrics and the hostess' friend made his way to the stage and read lyrics from songs in a dramatic voice. That was totally fun though we only got two of 'em. Downeaster Alexa by Billy Joel and Run DMC's You Be Illin'. I am sure everyone got that last one but I was still pleased in my memory of one trip up to Vermont in the 80s when Liza and I and a friend spent the entire 4.5 hour trip learning that song and singing it aloud!!

One limitation of the evening, aside from the on-the-low side turnout (I don't want to say low turnout since I have no idea what the hostess' expectations were and it was icing and all - that is, ice was coming down from the sky that night), was that fact that all three rounds were played without a break and it wasn't too long but it might have been better if there was some competition added by adding up team scores and knowing going into round 2 or 3 who were the ones to beat. But alas, on the other hand of course, I have gotten annoyed at one too many pub quizzes where you are just sitting around for minutes(heh) waiting to get the next round going. Maybe you just can't win. Or can't you?!

So - we did well. And came in second place which scored us free tickets (tickets that normally cost $5) to the Upright Citizen's Brigade comedy place in Chelsea. The Upright Citizen's Brigade where we went in December and because the show was so horrible we tried to block it out from memory!! But I would never look a gift giver (horse) in the mouth so yay! we rock!

You win some

And win we did.

A brief post to gloat in the fact that for a week we were the reigning Pub Quiz Champs of The Oxford Arms, a pub in the Camden Town section of London. That's right. You heard it here first. The four of us who keep up with this site and Glen's mate, Greg, met in the northwestern townlet of Camden on Monday, January 15 and wiped the place clean. The pub quiz place, that is. We cleared three points to take first prize - 15 pounds ! Which is 30 bucks to you and me.

Let's back up a bit and first set the scene. We walk from the tube, past the storefronts to the pub on the corner (aka The Oxford Arms). In we walk to a bevy of smokers (no Mayor Bloomberg over in London to defumagate the city), lads and lassies chattin' it up in their part of town. There are no available seats, nor spaces to stand near the bar, no tables. It looks like a regulars place right away and I sense my teammates feel as I do - "Well, everyone here is probably here every Monday and probably already knows what the questions will be" and no sooner than you can say "We're doomed!" does a friendly waiter come up to our group and say, "You looking for a seat? I will be right back" And faster than you can say, "Huh? Was he talking to us?" aforementioned friendly waiter now turns into a table-bearing waiter (not so much bearing it as carrying it). He places it down and like a scene where you ask for a pen in the middle of twenty pen salesmen (it has happened to you - hasn't it?) there are four - nay, five! - stools and chairs around our table.
And so we sit.

At about ten to nine we receive a pen and five sheets of paper stapled together. This is when we learn it is a five round game and it's about to begin soon.

Our team name is "Who ate all the pies?" which is a shout-out to our East Village days at the Baggot Inn (Tuesdays 2004 - 2005). That wasn't ever our team name stateside but there was always a team who did have that name and every now and then there was also a "We ate all the pies" team. On a side note, Who ate all the pies? is a football (UK) call so we are immediately endeared to those around us by our topical and locale friendly name (although I should say that is an embellishment on my part as no one knows the other teams' names in this version of pub quiz as the names are only read out at the end of the five round game). But in my own way, I like to think we were endeared and found to be lovable by those around us anyway.

There are 12 questions in each round and once the second round is complete I am having that - "we are awesome!" feeling. Unfortunately, in the third round (or maybe it was the fourth?) we answer a total of 4 questions correctly. FOUR!
Oh well.

So onto the next rounds where we are faced with questions such as Name the two countries with the letter X in their names. I quickly get Luxembourg owning up to the fact that I had recently had that question in another bar quiz night never mentioning the fact that a mere two days before we had been in Paris at the Jardins du Luxembourg. Ah - Americans! Never appreciating the wonders of the world. Although, when at the aforementioned Luxembourg Gardens (see photo) I was "wondering" why is this such a recommended site?! (Of course it could have everything to do with the fact that we chose to visit it in the dead of winter. A GARDEN.)
The other one is Mexico - which we also write down.

There is a music round with the Emcee stating the singer and the song and asking for the year in which it hit number one and/or was released. There's Born to Run (by Bruce), U2's Vertigo, and others that are escaping me now.

Taking a break from the questioning, the Emcee asks a football (soccer) related question that I just don't get but it seems people are raising their hands and guessing at the answer - the answer turned out to be 20 but people are guessing 50? 52? Two people guessed 67 which is a bad bad thing and only means that the 2nd person to guess wasn't listening and/or is severely drunk. When the Emcee selects a person in the bar to answer, usually that person's hand is raised and he asks the answerer where s/he is from. Liza (as in Minelli) ganders a guess but first, when she says she is from New York (as opposed to St. John's Wood, which as you may know is the townlet in which Heather Mills (old name, Heather Mills McCartney - as in Sir Paul) just received custody (alimony?) of the 7.8 million dollar (3.9 million pounds?) home she once shared with aforementioned Sir Paul) there is a roar from the crowd. Yes, the whole bar cheered for her. Our Liza! It was great fun.

The last round of questioning is the sports round and this is where I really have no recollection. Probably because I have just decided that trivia (ahem, pub quiz) should only be 4 rounds long. By the 5th I am tired out, brain mushed, burnt out. I turn to Liza and we chat like only sisters can. Along the lines of - huh? I am leaving tomorrow, that kinda stinks and hey - he's goin' be a socah playah (not talking about anyone in particular but just relaying our favorite random movie lines back and forth). Lucky for us Glen and Jeremy are working diligently on the round, next thing we know our game sheet is in and the tallying begins. By the scorers, that is. I have kept track of some of our scores and think we are in the 43 - 45 point range.

The first team is announced to have some 20 odd points in 12th place and I am feeling optimistic. Once the Emcee gets to the 4th placed team at 30 odd points I am smiling widely – we are in the top three! We placed and we won't be going home empty-handed!
And then it all happens so quickly, though I do have time to warn my teammates that when we are announced the winners (as we know it is coming and the Emcee takes his time to blurt it out) I exclaim we must cheer and we must be loud!

So we cheer, we are not that loud, and we take our 15 pounds and scram.

!

So, I sent a limited edition WHAM! postcard to Jess and Jer because of WHAM!'s format...all caps and an exclamation point. (similar to a certain TV Game Show, der)

What are some other capitalized exclamatory things? I'd like to keep this list to capitalized things so the movie, 'That Thing You Do!' is not included..but if we can't think of anything else, the rules of this 'game' can be amended.

Who is lazy?

That'd be me. Why else would there only be photos up here for a week with absolutely no dialogue? You might think I was so overwhelmed by the fun that was had last Saturday. But fun is not the type of thing to overwhelm me. Maybe over scheduling myself like I am some 8 year old taking chess lessons, violin lessons while also being on the soccer, volleyball and tennis teams is likely to overwhelm me. (I know no such 8 year old but I imagine one like this does exist and I only wish him/her the best in dealing with his/her crazy parents in the future)

But today's Saturday and last week at this time, there was fun!
We met our guests at the SE corner of 50th and 6th Avenue so as not to get involved in whatever clusterf*cks might have been awaiting us at the very Radio City Music Hall corner. It was a fairly wise move since as we approached the entrance of Radio City Music Hall there were about five security guards (cops? - doubtful) keeping people-traffic moving and directing Jeopardy fans where to go based on their status. Had I received tickets in the mail I would have low class status (I made that classification up myself) and would have stood on line in the cold (comparatively - it was about 50 degrees and windy compared to the Friday before's almost 80 and sunny!). The line started at the NE corner of 50th and 6th and headed east. We, with our now Will Call status, soon to be called VIP status(!), were instructed to head into Radio City Music Hall to receive our tickets. We walked up to the table (no line, just two men sitting behind it) and after some Rauch, Shevitz Rauch debate, the tickets were found and inside we went.
We stood where we were told to stand based on a large sign that said, VIP BLUE DOT. (Our tickets each had a blue dot sticker.) There were about 10 people in front of us. Anyway, this post is not about lines! (well, so far it is and it shouldn't be)

So the doors open and we are directed to our seats - 7th row on the viewers right hand side. Once the curtain goes up we see the contestant podiums and we are standing parallel to them so it is kinda hard to see (in person) the third contestant. (and when I say third contestant it is really the contestant on the left for a TV viewer).
All of this doesn't matter because there are two huge - like so huge I couldn't even guess how many inches - HD TV screens hanging on the sides of the stage. I can see the one on the left perfectly and I see the board of squares perfectly as well.

So, back to the timeline though. We are sitting by about 10:15 knowing the taping doesn't start until 11. Ho hum. We read our Playbills which lists the 30 contestant/celebrities to take part in the Radio City fun. Jeremy and I had already seen this list via the Jeopardy Web site a few days back but my dad (guest #3) and I read through it. As he gets to Rachael Ray there is a slight groan - by both of us and we determine that would probably be the worst guest to see. I turn to Jeremy and we also confer that would be the worst out of the 30 to watch. Then, a couple behind us, as I eavesdrop, says to one another, "Oh gee, I really hope one of the contestants is not Rachael Ray!" So glad that is settled.

So, first there is a "rehearsal". Johnny Gilbert or some other Jeopardy man comes out to tell us the three contestants will be coming out and Jimmy (of Clue Crew fame) will be acting as Alex and the three celebs will get a chance to practice with the buzzer and practice selecting clues, etc. The categories and clues will be different in the real game - - the real game for which the celebs play for their "favorite" charity. Favorite charity seems like a weird semi-oxymoronic term. I like homeless people more than I like people with AIDS. Or I would like people with Breast Cancer to et cured prior to people with Alzheimer's. Hmm. . . favorite charity is definitely not the right term. How about "charity of choice"?

So, let me cut to some sort of chase so this "Who is Lazy?" posting does not become the posting that never was posted.

First Harry Shearer walks out. And next Isaac Mizrahi. At this point I am so happy and clapping wildly and just so . . . happy that we haven't seen Rachael Ray yet. Then as the doors open for Isaac Mizrahi I see a female figure with long brown hair in the background. Can it be? Fo' real?! I panic. My heart skips and beat and then
YES! Soledad O'Brien of CNN (or See "NN", a category later in the real game), appears!

So, the show will be aired on Nov 14. And if you have any questions about the taping, feel free to let me know.


Editor's Note: This "Who is Lazy?" posting was started one week after the Radio City Hall extravaganza and finally finished on the first day of airing of the Celebrity Jeopardy tapings. The one we watched is on November 14!

What are photos from the Celebrity Jeopardy taping?

Who are 3 people we won't see on Saturday?

So, Wednesdays I have class at 3:45 and last Wednesday (that'd be yesterday) I hung around the house in the am and saw that Regis and Kelly were having none other than Alex Trebek as a guest. I immediately set my bowl of cereal down and used the remote to Tivo (DVR to be exact) the show.
I got to it tonight and was delighted in more ways than one. I will mention two ways.

1- They showed a tape of Alex on the first day of the 1984 (inaugural Trebek) season. Heh heh.

He looked funny.
He had a fro. There is no other way to put it. He actually used the word himself (not on the 1984 show but rather the October 2006 Live with Regis and Kelly show.) Alex has won 4 Emmys and Jeopardy! the show has won a total of 26. 26!!

2-Once the interviewers were "over" Alex, talk turned to Reege. And how he had been on Celebrity Jeopardy! several times.
ZZZZ.
All I could think was,
"Please dear Lord, no. Please don't make me watch Regis Philbin play Jeopardy! on Saturday morning."
My prayers were answered.

Regis said to Alex that he would see him tomorrow. Phew. And he also mentioned he was playing against Carson Kressley, and Nancy Grace of CNN. Well good! Although, as Jeremy and I discussed Regis might have been the one you wanted to see, what with his high energy and what not. Ugh. Let's just keep our fingers crossed that the line-up of Reege, Carson and Nancy is NOT the best Celebrity Jeopardy! has to offer.


Side note: Jeremy and I have already seen Regis in person at the end of 2004 when we went to a taping of the David Letterman show.

Why, yes, yes I do...

I was doing some research for my blog posting and Glen all exasperated goes, 'You take this bloody blog more seriously than your job!' 'Umm, is that a problem?' is what I have to say to that.



Well, my post really is just to say that I've been to Celebrity Jeopardy! sometime during the year 2000. It's weird to think of Jeopardy! pre- AALNJ, Ken, and blogs for that matter. I went with a former Sotheby's colleague and her parents to The Theater at Madison Square Garden. The celebrity guests were Nathan Lane, Meredith Viera and someone who I can't remember. I have tried searching online for this thinking the internet wouldn't let me down. Alas, I could not find the third person (man? woman? who knows?) This is when Glen asked me the blasphemous question.



So, the ceiling is lit in the Madison Garden Theater way and the stage is set up with the infamous board.



I think there was someone to warm us up and tell us when to cheer, laugh, speak, or not speak. This was a really long time ago...and I can't remember too much except that Meredith Viera cursed when she got an answer wrong...she said "awww sh**" (which was not followed by 'I thought it was your birthday!')
Also, the celebs were not too bright from what I recall and I do not think that I am getting my experience confused with SNL's Celebrity Jeopardy!

Soo, if anyone can tell me who the third guest was on with Nathan Lane and Meredith Viera, I'll give you, um, a noogie!!!!

The real deal

It is odd I was talking about fate and then London AALNJ presented an installment about the high holy days. (very fun by the way).

And this is really what happened after we received that postcard looking correspondence in the self-addressed, stamped envelope I had sent to the Van Nuys Jeopardy studio back in August.

Email to my Sony friend @ 2:45 pm.
"Hey there -
I hope your week is going well.
I got notification in the mail today that I did not get Celebrity Jeopardy tickets . . .
Bummer. . . Dropping a line just in case your friend who works on the show wants to give a true die-hard Jeopardy fan (that'd be me) a chance to see the show in NYC next week (or weekend)!

Thanks,
Jess"

Who here likes that casual-ness, blase-ness of this note? I have to say it came quite naturally though I wrote it in a Jeopardy-laden frenzy!

Imagine if you will a too-old-to-be-obsessed with Jeopardy (or anything!) fan, sitting in her office, Jeopardy hat on, with the Final Jeopardy ditty (about two to three times faster than the televised rhythm) playing in her head.
That was. . .

not me.


But a funny image, nonetheless. Then let's say the rest of the afternoon the theme music won't stop from playing in a hostile manner in your mind.

Again, not me.

But then imagine an email return a mere 4 hours and 45 minutes later
indicating yes, there would be tickets waiting at will call for the Saturday 9:45 am taping. That, my friends, was me (!!) so we got 'em and we are going!

High Holy Day Jeopardy!

I received this in an email...it's appropriate for this time of year...for Jewish Jeopardy! fans:

Jewpardy.

Don't make me laugh

This is what we received in the mail. But this is not our fate.

Remember Jeopardy?

It's been a while since we've actually summarized an episode of Jeopardy - the blog's namesake! So, without further ado - it's all about last night's Jeopardy (and then some. .. )
Or maybe more appropriately and minus some.

Let me be truthful and just tell you we watched not one, not two but three Jeopardy's last night from the week and the week prior. We wouldn't have gotten into last week except we turned on Monday's show to see two - yes two! champions. We didn't even get to the start of the game - I mean, this is unprecedented now isn't it? Or is it?
We turned off the game and put on the prior game. And we watched with eager eyes. And we watched Nick and Sarah go into Final Jeopardy with $15,200 each. And they both got Final right and so they both ended up with $30,400. Quite a payday for the Jeopardy money giver outers.
And then, as previously discussed, both ended up on the show the next day. Wow.
Sarah was a three day champ with $63,599 and Nick, a one day champ with (say it with me now) $30,400. And I am not proud to say, I have no idea who won that game. I know. For shame. For shame.

But last night's show (the third in the trilogy) included a clue that told us the Pink Floyd album title based on a George Orwell novel. Did you get it?
What is Animals was the correct response. Also on this episode was a 50 year old who was brought to Bora Bora to scuba dive as a gift from his wife. And on one of his scuba diving expeditions he got bitten by a grouper. The Jeopardy-ish kicker? He ate grouper for dinner that night. Why I oughta!!

And lastly in my rather un-diligent notes regarding last night's watching patterns, Double Jeopardy had a category titled Weddings. Which made me think of the most recent post (see below) Aw.
And wouldn't you know it - the first clue was this. (seriously)
"When this is done at Jewish Weddings, Uncle Mort might reply, "That's the last time he puts his foot down"
Why I oughta!!

The correct response being, "What is break the glass" (though the contestant said . . wine glass and I might beg to differ, IF I knew my Jewish tradition origins a bit better)

So that is in remembrance of last night's Jeopardys and later this weekend we will post an ever so exciting update of the upcoming taping of Celebrity Jeopardy at Radio City Music Hall. As Jeremy so eloquently put earlier today - Jess, this is the ideal Jeopardy for you - Celebrities (which you love - well, who doesn't) and Jeopardy! (well, who doesn't?!?!)

The happiest day of our lives...

Ahh...if only we had real pictures of us with him! Jess, any joy with the pictures?
